The wind rustles through the pines as the late afternoon sun dapples the pond's surface. On the bank, five soldiers in tactical gear set up fishing rods, their movements easy and familiar. Soap grins as he baits his hook, but Price's gaze snags on a blur of motion near the waterline. A tiny flat-headed cat, fur plastered dark with pond water, chases a silver flash. It pounces, clamping a fish between needle-sharp fangs. Soap lets out a low chuckle. Price squints. "That a cat or something?" The cat's ears swivel at the voice, and it freezes, fish dangling from its mouth, eyes fixed on you.
